The Birmingham Boom.

Most of the stories which have come
from the scenes of the Southern boom"
are eclipsed by that told in Wall Street
yesterday by broker who has juat re-.
turned from Birmingham. a party of
impecunious spectators bought from a
farmer the "option" of taking his farm at
$4,000. They proposed laying it out in
town lots, and one of the conditions of
their bargain with the farmer was that
he must buy from them two corner lots
at the average price they should obtain
for corner lots at auction sale. The
spectators had the land staked of
into streets, caused handsome maps OF
the property to be drawn, and advertised
the SALE They we're yersed in the mys.
teries of wash sales aud matched orders,
and the way they bid up corner lots
against one another was q caution TO the
auctioueer. Imagine the feelings of the
farmer when he found that instead OF
receiving any compensation for bis farm
be was $4,000 in debt to the enterprising
spectators, his two lots at the average
price obtained for corner lots costing
him SS,000.-Mew York Herald.

The Interstate Commerce Bill.

Professor Arthur T. Hadley, of New
Haven, says: "The effect of the long
and short haul clause will depend entirely
upon the construction given by the
courts. If Mr.. Cullom's Interpretation
is the correct one, it simply embodies a
principle toward which the practice OF
our better railroads is conforming more
and more closely every day. Only a
small part of the joint tariffs Of our
roads would be affected by it. The
trouble to-day is not SO much in the tariffs
as in the deviation from them by special
rates for favored shippers. The attempt
to stop this system of secret personal dis.
elimination is good thing. The great
difficulty is that the means at hand under
the proposed law are hardly strong
enough to enforce it. The task is made
much harder by the prohibition of pools.
Pools are not particularly satisfactory
thing in themselves, but they take away
the causes of personal discrimination.
Where there has been active competition
there has always been great deal of
rate.cutting for favored individuals, and
the attempt in other countries to prohibit
it by law has only made the special rates
more secret. They have thus been forced
to recognize and regulate pools. AS far
as the clause against pooling is obeyed
and not evaded it will tend to make it
harder to secure obedience to the other
sections of the BILL"

Mistaken Again.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER There is,
possibly, no one in the State who knows
the fact better than yourself that | Was
the regular nominee of the Greenback
party several weeks previous to the sit
ting of the Republican Convention,
which only endorsed three of us named
by our party, Of which l was very glad.
Generally, I believe, when man enters
the race for an Office he wants all the
votes he can get from all quarters; like
wise he should not object to nominations
or endorsements from Greenbsck, Re-
publican or Democratic parties.
Several Counties of the State elected
men who are now, and always have been,
pronounced Republicans to the two Con-
yentions called to meet in Columbia of
farmers, for the express purpose of rob-
bing the movement of any political sig
ni6cance; but in every case, like myself,
they we're farmers, loyal to their chosen
avocation, and hence entitled to the
confidence reposed in them. But like
myself, again, they have their political
faith, and each Of us, as true Carolinians,
when the time comes to either discuss or
vote upon political measures will 60 our
own way; but when the farmers make
their call to farmers we belong to the
household and we heed the call, for the
call, in my Judgment, is greater, far
greater, than the call of any political
party.
I do not suppose, however, that the
average newspaper editor or office.seeker
can we'll understand that there is patriot
ism enough in any mans bosom 10 stand
by his calling first, and let party be a
secondary consideration.

Tho Courier's Dlsingcnuousness.
N.on thc .Rqptist Courier.


The last issue of The Anderson INTEL
L1GENCER contains what was doubtless
intended as reply to recent editorial
in the Courier on the Anderson prohibi.
ton election. The chief feature of this
alleged reply is series of animadver-
sions upon one of the editors Of the
Courier, mixed with an adroit effort to
obscure the real issue in controversy by
unworthy insinuations and direct charges
against us. Beyond this, our contempt.
rary has given only a repetition of its
former article, in justification of the
course pursued by the prohibition man.
ayers of the late campaign, and it does
not meet the objections raised by us
We have said nothing that the facts of
the case did not seem to warrant, and we
cannot discover in all that our contem-
porary has written any reason for recant-
ing aught that we have said on the sub
ject. A thing is not necessarily true
because the INTELLIGENCER declares it
to be true, and it is quite possible for it's
editor to be mistaken ever on point of
law. All wisdom and virtue and honesty
are not concentrated in any man, and it
is somewhat likely that other peoples
opinions and views are as apt to be right
as those of the INTELL1aENcER. At
least, the Courier will maintain its right
to discuss public measures coming within
its province as religious newspaper, as
it is interested in the moral welfare of
ali the people, and iG will not seek the
guidance of other men, especially those
who are intolerant ard super-sensitive.
We honestly believe that the prohibit
tionists of Anderson made q great mis-.
take in the recent election, in not allow.
ing the freest and fullest expression of
public sentiment, and because this error
on their part will injuriously affect the
prohibition cause in this State, we have
a perfect right to the expression of this
opinion. We were not meddling with
local affairs in which we had no concern,
and we wish to be plainly understood by
our friends in Anderson that it was
profound interest in the final and COM
plete success of prohibition iu their
midst which prompted the original
article. In mildly criticising an error
on their part, we were not giving aid and
comfort to the enemy, but we were rails.
ing warning voice to friends, not to
repeat the folly Of the past. If the legal
advice given to the prohibition leaders,
and acted upon by the city authorities,
had been the undisputed and unquestion-
able law on the subject, we still insist
that it vas wrong policy to raise the
issue after registration began. But the
law is not yet settled, and grave doubts
were entertained by lawyers in Anderson
aud elsewhere, who have heretofore voted
the prohibition ticket, as to the necessity
for the production of a registration GER.

GENcER as to our position in this matter,

A Dangerous Operation.

PHILADELPHIA, February 2.-Oger
500 medical students, a large number of
throat specialists, and doctors from all the
medical colleges in the city, packed the
funnel shaped clinic room in the Univer-
sity Hospital this afternoon to witness
the operation ofthe removal Of the larynx
from patient who had been troubled
with sarcoma Of the larynx, a disease
which would have been fatal. The pa.
tient could hardly speak. Dr.. D. Hays
Agnew performed the operation. He
pursued an original course. he was
assisted by DR.. Ashurst as FIRST assistant
and DR.. White as second. This is the
third operation of this sort in the country,
and the first in this city, and is very
dangerous. rs the patient may die on the
table.
After the patient was put under the
influence of ether the operation of trac.
teotomy was successfully performed, cut
about six inches in length being made in
the windpipe. In this aperture silver
canula-a tube about as long as your hn.
ger-was placed, through which the
patient breathed during the operation,
and also received ether, the mouth and
upper throat being useless. This took
about three. quarters of an hour. The
larynx was then taken out, and as the
growth was found to be quite extensive,
it was necessary to take out part of the
pharynx. About two inches of the
organs were successfully removed, and
tube introduced in the upper part of the
tracbea, extending into the mouth,
through which The patient will receive
nourishment. The openings were then
closed. The man may live for several
years, but will not be able to talk. The
operation took almost three hours. At
last accounts the patient was doing we'll.
The medical students are very enthuslas-
tic over the success of the operation.

An Alliance, or a Purchase.

AUGUSTA, GA, February 6.-The ru-
mors mentioned some days ago in the
News and Courier in reference to the
Central system of railroads being leased
by the Richmond and West Point Temi-
nal Company are beginning to be believed
by those interested in the road iu this city.
There is undoubtedly something 10
the wind, and most probably the above will
prove to be correct. Large orders for
the stock from parties who are thorough
ly posted have been filled during the past
week. There is one broker here who has
alone purchased one thousand shares of
the stock during the past week for the
insiders, at prices ranging from 121 to
127, and he is still in the market for stock.
Besides him other brokers here have also
purchased large blocks for others believ-
ing in the reports. 1t is still being pre-
dicted that the stock will reach $50 ere
many weeks.
Besides the above there was an occur
renee yesterday which leaves less doubt
than before, in the minds of many, that
the lease will be effected at an early date.
Heretofore all freight from Augusta
going to points along the Greenville and
Columbia Road, especially between New
berry and Greenwood, has gone over the
Augusta and Knoxville Road to Green
wood and thence over the Columbia and
Greenville Road to its destination. But
yesterday, when freight was sent to the
Augusta and Knoxville depot for those
points, it was rejected by the officials,
they saying that orders had been received
from headquarters not to accept freight
for those points; that it should be sent
by the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Road. This, of course, is great incon-
yenience to our merchants, as it takes
from twenty.four to forty eight hours
longer to reach its destination, and will
it is feared, make Augusta lose thet terri.
tory. Some believe this is traffic
alliance made by the Central with the
Richmond and West Point Terminal
Company, in order to prevent the latter
road interfering with their business in
Georgia points, while Others are of the
opinion that the lease of the
Central has been effected. There is no
doubt of the fact that the true inwardness
of the Central's affairs will be made pub.
lie in the course of few days.

Soaring tile Cadets.

LEXINGTON, Va, February 3.-Much
excitement exists at the Virginia Mill
tary Institute. On the night of January
%, as the sentinel was walking his beat,
his attention was attracted through the
sallyport to the front of the barracks by
slight sound. Between the two large
forty-six pound siege pieces there appear.
ed soldier dressed in a Confederate uni.
form and mounted on large gray horse.
His sword was drawn. His horse was
tightly reined up and two white plumes
acated above his head.
In an instant the horse started through
the sallyport into the courtyard at a
round trot, crossing the sentinel's beat
and making no sound although he was
passing over solid brick pavement.
The sentinel challenged with a loud
voice, "Who goes there ?" The rider did
not heed the challenge, but passed on at
the same pace until, arriving at an
abrupt and impossible precipice in the
rear of the barracks, he vanished.
The sentinel promptly called his cor
poral who informed the lieutenant of the
day. The guard vas turned out, and
though minute search was instituted no
trace of horse or rider could be found.
On the next night similar phenome-
non was witnessed by party of cadets
and citizens. This time sentinel was
stationed in the centre of the sallyport TO
await the reappearauce of the horse and
rider. At the same time, as on the night
before, the horse and rider appeared and
started through the sallyport at a great
pace. The sentinel commanded "Halt! |!
Who goes there ?"
The horse approached nearer and
nearer to the sentinel, until within two
feet of the point of the bayonet, and van
ished only to reappear just in the rear of
the sentinel. Then he passed on in the
direction he had taken the preceding
night, again disappearing at the edge of
the precipice. An old veteran present
recognized the rider to be none other
than Gen. Stonewall Jackson.
